Summary:
The city of Alburg, Vermont has only one school, the Alburg Community Education Center, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 194 students. This small, high-poverty elementary school has a predominantly white student population and has seen its state-wide ranking decline over the past three years, from 140th out of 148 Vermont elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 87th out of 113 in 2022-2023.
Academically, the Alburg Community Education Center has shown some strengths, with its grade 4 English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rate exceeding the state average. However, its proficiency rates in other grade levels and subject areas, such as mathematics, are generally lower than the state-wide averages. The school's high percentage of students (67.53%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests that the student population faces significant economic challenges, which may impact the school's resources and educational outcomes.
Despite its small size and economic challenges, the Alburg Community Education Center has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.4, which could provide opportunities for more personalized attention and targeted interventions. However, the school's declining state-wide ranking and mixed academic performance indicate areas for improvement, and the high poverty rates among the student population may require additional support and resources to ensure the school's long-term success.
